Shiza Ventures took part in program planning for the Japan Go IPO Summit 2026, held September 16, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo. Managing Partner Jordan Fisher handled theme setting and session design, and will appear on stage with Founding Partner Reika Matsuda. The second edition, hosted by MarcumAsia with AUM Advisors handling planning and operations, covers later-stage growth capital, listing routes, pre-IPO liquidity, and growth after listing.
This year's program moves past the listing decision itself. Sessions cover later-stage growth capital, secondary transactions, purchases of LP interests, and cap table optimization, alongside comparisons of traditional IPOs, de-SPACs, and direct listings.
Fisher and Matsuda appear on stage for Shiza Ventures, whose stated purpose is operating funds specializing in Japan's growth-stage venture secondary market and providing liquidity to existing shareholders such as entrepreneurs, VCs, and CVCs. The summit is invitation-only and aimed at executives, CFOs, and directors weighing overseas listings, plus institutional investors and advisors.
